Getting the ball rolling. Which VB6 projects are you working on?

[-Franky-]

Do they always have to be plain and flat though? Hate this "Fluent UI" crap where everything is flat with little to no borders and various other UI sins from art students too far up their own ass and managers implementing change for the sake of change to justify their pay.

Windows UI design really peaked in 7 and it's been a steep decline since, with 11 dipping into the 'actively painful to use ' realm.

Those VB buttons just look so much better than the "is that a button or a label" WinUI buttons.

It's impressive technical work but a lot to go through for a worse UI.

But then you can't switch to Win11. I mean, you can stay with Win7 if you like the UI better. And who says that a XAML button has to be flat? That's just the default template. You don't know, or you don't even have a clue, about the possibilities that can be achieved with XAML. And I've already written about it here. XAML is just one of many ways to create your UI. You don't have to use it and nobody is forcing you to.

Edit: Just do a Google image search for "xaml button style template". I think that will give you a small overview of what is possible with XAML.
